Welcome to the Optics demo of Concave Mirrors.
The app lets you manipulate a candle labelled “O” and view the image, labelled “I”. X is the center of the mirror, and C is its center of curvature of the mirror.

A concave mirror is a converging device that causes rays to meet at a point.

Study optical characteristics in sections along the axis.
Move the object between infinity and C and study the image.
Move the object between infinity and C and study the image.
Place the object at C and study the image.
Move the object between C and F, and study the image.
Move the object between C and F, and study the image.
Move the object between C and F, and study the image.
Place the object at the focal point F, and study the image.
Place the object at the focal point F, and study the image.
Finally, move the object between F and X and see what type of image is formed.
